abstract="This paper discusses some software safety standards, with respect to how they can be used to measure software safety. The possibility to transfer the requirements of a software safety standard into Bayesian Belief Nets is also investigated. The aim is to utilise the BBN methodology and associated tools, to transfer the software safety measurement into a probabilistic quantity. In this way software can be included in probabilistic safety analysis of the total programmable system. A project was performed in which the method was applied for evaluation of a real, safety related programmable system that was developed according to the avionic standard DO-178B. The test case, the standard, and the BBN methodology are shortly described, followed by a description of the construction of the BBN used in this project. Also a summary of some of the findings and experiences from the study is provided.<p />",
